Pellegrini took over the reigns at Manchester City in 2013 after his stints with Spanish clubs- Villarreal, Real Madrid and Malaga. Pellegrini replaced Roberto Mancini at the Etihad and led City to their second Premier League title, as they finished on 86 points- just two ahead of Liverpool.

City won 27 matches and scored 102 goals in the victorious 2013-14 season. Luiz Suarez of Liverpool was the top scorer with 31 goals. The crucial 2-0 win over West Ham on the final matchday, secured Manchester City the title who won their last five league encounters.

It was Pellegrini's first ever stint in the English football and no doubt he made it into a memorable one by clinching the title with Manchester City. He left the club in 2016 after three successful seasons.
